"Turister" is a term I first heard in Summer of 1968 from a hardware store owner in Vermont.
Jeanne, Erik (then 18 months) and I spent that summer in Cambridge. We visited Vermont one week and climbed Mount Washington carrying Erik and gear on our backs. Seems now that we were quite "young and dumb" then; but fortunately, we were also young and strong. When we arrived at the overnight shelter at the top, both of us utterly exhausted, the kid, well-rested, was ready to play well into night.
On the way back to Boston I stopped in the hardware store and chatted with the owner whom I had met a few days before. As I was leaving he summarized "folks" with,
"There are three kinds of people --fahmers, bznissmen and turisters -- ya' see all kinds of turisters."

A smaller part of the river is navagable. Routine TugBarge commerce extends to Lewiston, Idaho (465 river miles from the Pacific Ocean.) and Coast Guard
